The County of Haliburton, in partnership with Haliburton Highlands Family Health Organization (HHFHO) physicians practice, and Haliburton Highlands Health Services (HHHS), said Dr. Jeet George will be joining the HHFHO, as a primary health care provider, and HHHS, as of May 1.
Dr. George has broad expertise in general practice, emergency medicine, and procedural anaesthesia. He practiced medicine in the UK for eight years before relocating to Australia. He has been practicing a combination of family, emergency and GP anesthesia in Australia for the past 17 years.
Dr. George will be rostering 700 new patients in Haliburton County and has committed to providing medical services to the Highlands for six years.
Dr. George contacted staff in February 2025 in response to a job posting on the British Medical Journal website. He and his family travelled from Australia to visit Haliburton County and did a tour of medical facilities in August 2025.
‘’My family and I are beyond excited for this big move. This started from a response to a job advertisement a bit more than a year ago. Looking at the stunning area and surroundings, we had to visit; we were captivated and bowled over when we did. The steadfast support, provided by recruitment coordinator, Wendy Welch, and the local physicians and administration staff, was instrumental in making this happen. We are finally ready and look forward to being a part of this wonderful community,” Dr. George said.
